This is a vintage Maru obi with a bamboo, sasa(bamboo leaves) and 'hanabishi'(flower-diamond) pattern, which is woven.Gold foil thread is woven in the pattern, shining elegantly.The textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch. It has kaikiri lines(end mark line) on both ends.

There is discoloration in the base due to its age. It is prominently discolored throughout the ends.There is a rather deep stain on the 'maegara'(the front design) of Kanto wrap (rotate obi counterclockwise) side.(refer to the 4th photo of the flaws) The stitches of the kaikiri line(end mark line) are coming loose.There are folding lines.For details, please check the figure and photos.

Though it has some faults, we hope you enjoy this vintage tasteful design!
